fabulous
JIC
tein

all make coils for our cars. probably couple more.

all will give you a very noticeable change in driving, dependent on what level of stiffness you set it to.

not really. if you get a quality pair of coils, and keep them on the softest setting it won't be that much different.

now if you're running on stiff, it will be so

depends how stiff you want it...if you dont want it too stiff, then lowering springs should do it..but if your serious, then coilovers all the way. Especially since you can change the settings if you aren't satisfied. You have a few options, springs or coilovers probably most logical.

1. springs
2. coilovers
3. Sway bars
4. Strut bars
